I thought it would be fun to add the some food dye to the water. Turns out he loved it!

Pour a little bit of water in and freeze it. This will create a layer of ice before you add the first dinos. Otherwise, the dinos would be sticking out. We can’t be having that!

After the first layer is frozen, add a couple of dinosaurs and pour a little more water in. Freeze that layer and repeat as many times as you would like! We ended up having several dino layers.

I put the block into a container to contain the ice/water. Add a spoon for a shovel and hand it over to the kiddos!

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the discoveries!
